Following champagne, Pimms and canapés, Ken hosted a retrospective of his journey from start up salon The Zoo in Cardiff city centre to the 6,500 ft eponymous luxury salon now based in Mermaid Quay, where Ken was the first business to open (the builders put paving slabs down so clients could get across the mud…) The brand’s history includes 5 shop refits, 27 major British industry awards, 40 staff, 500 clients per week, 26,000 client visits a year.
